Environmental Working Group (EWG) Advocates for EMF Exposure Guidelines up to 400 Times Stricter Than FCC SAR Standards

Updated:
Last month, the FCC lost a landmark court case against the Children’s Health Defense (CHD), where the court ruled the FCC neglected evidence in determining their wireless radiation exposure standards, which they have not updated since 1996. Their loose, outdated limits put the health and safety of the public at risk. The FCC fails to even address standards for children, even though research shows children are more vulnerable to EMF radiation. See more on the ruling here.
Because of the FCC’s neglect, third-party groups are stepping up to fill in the gaps left.

THE EWG

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), is an American activist group and non-profit organization that specializes in research and advocacy to help the public make informed choices and live a healthy life. They work with subject experts to bring breakthrough research into areas like toxic chemicals, drinking water, family health, and more.
